NACDD. Similar to last year, we’ve selected artwork featured at local DC studio Art Enables to serve as logo imagery for DD Awareness Month. This year we have artwork from artist Jamila Rahimi.
Each March, the National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities (NACDD), and our partners work together to create a social media campaign that highlights the many ways in which people with and without disabilities come together to form strong, diverse communities.
The campaign seeks to raise awareness about the inclusion of people with developmental disabilities in all facets of community life, as well as awareness of the barriers that people with disabilities still sometimes face in connecting to the communities in which they live.
The Role of NACDD
- Provide leadership, education, and attention on national issues and policy affecting all people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD)
- Advocate to Congress and federal government agencies on the public policy agenda that supports people with I/DD and federal regulations that govern the DD Councils
- Secure strong funding for the State DD Councils through the Congressional appropriations process
- Provide Technical Assistance to our member DD Council staff to ensure they properly support their Council for success
